@Yullybear I wanna confirm some things first before posting. The group of gathered performers at the side of the stage are huddled around Myron's body?

Did the body suddenly appear or was it always there?

Also, the voice that said Myron died was heard by just us, or also the crowd?

The body did not appear it was found by the performer, it was somewhat hidden behind the curtains, the crowd was there because someone found the body and suddenly everyone approach to see it with their own eyes. The voice that said Myron is dead is one of the performer hearing people were looking for Myron, it is an information given for everyone.

Sorry, I mean, the announcement that Myron is dead wasn't heard by the townies who want to see the show?

I am slightly dyslexic and English is not my first language, so I have two tools/browser addons that I use
1: Grammarly offers spelling and grammar corrections as I am making these posts
[ +- ] looks like this in action
2: When I am tired and I'm faced with a wall of text, then I sometimes use the Firefox extension Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader that will read a selected text aloud at a speed that I set.

@testlum No, you are all behind the curtain, the public do not see you and the noise is quite loud onthe other side. Beside he did not scream he spoke loudly, only people around him at about 5 feet were able to listen.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing it up. At any rate let's see how the show starts off, and what Gray can find out in the meantime.

I continue the post about circus here.

There is no requirement for anyone to be ring leader a NPC can do it. And you can all be performer in the show if you want, it is not required to have any of the NPC listed.

In term of job I associates Ring Leader with Clown Coordinator? The list of crew job is on Rules->Circus Management 4th post.

So if I understand it right, Oboth and Martha would both be attempting the Coaster trick to help other performers, which means using the Aid action while the performer does their act.

Wait, no, the Coaster trick is for a performer helping another performer. That means Animal Handler for Oboth, and Martha would probably have been Carnival Barker but the show already started. So I guess she can try out being a Backup Clown.

Questions:

1. +1 Acrobatics trait means that a trick has +1 DC and is rolled using Acrobatics by the performer?

2. Do we start with 20 Anticipation for this show?

No, it means that the performer get a +1 to dice for an acrobatics check (it is a bonus)

Nope you start with 1 Prestige and 15 Anticipations.

OOC:
I almost missed the OOC post you left in my post. It's confusing when you edit a post and don't identify you've done so. Could you put 'GM Edit' at the beginning? Still it's better not to do that since I am not alerted to you having added to my post.

I am confused, especially since you mentioned above that a crew job is ok. My PC is helping getting the show on by prepping the animals and leading them to the ring when it's time for them to perform.
I haven't spotted anything yet, but I would be very uncomfortable with a GM altering my posts. I have left games before due to an aggressive GM editor

I think we're starting to stall here. Martha is fine with any order of performance, including the one Rhea suggested. Anybody have a different idea?

If not, I say we go forward with her plan.
Feb 26, 2024 1:41 pm
It is what I ask, does everyone agree with the plan or someone has other suggestion. I put a poll, it will be easier for decisions like these.

Sorry to see you go Windyridge.

@yullybear you've mentioned the Overture a couple times, but I don't see it in your post of the show format. You've just got the finale being three tricks. It's this an additional fifth component, or one of the three finale tricks?
Feb 26, 2024 5:03 pm
It is explained in the rules on Circus Management, also I changed the name when I posted (silly me)

The show is divided in 4 acts and includes 7 tricks :

Act 1. Opener -- 1 trick, designed to capture the crowed attention.
Act 2. Build-up -- 2 tricks, design to impress the crowed
Act 3. Big Number -- 1 trick, focus of the entire show
Act 4. Finale -- 3 tricks, presenting a dazzling spectacle of all the circus has to offer.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry but this game is not for me, so I'm going to exit before we get too far. Best of luck!
I'm going to step out aswell

Well I guess this is the end of this game.
Sorry I was not able to steer much interest, I am not a very good GM i seems.

Thanks for trying.
